SURF's professional development workshops leverage tested teaching techniques and innovative science to transform the teaching of K-12 science in South Dakota

Excitement is contagious. When teachers are passionate about a subject, they pass that excitement along to their students.

Our education specialists are transforming the teaching of K-12 STEM in South Dakota through professional development workshops designed to inspire the next generation of scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians. 

SURF’s Professional Development workshops:

  • Connect teachers to the innovative science at SURF
  • Utilize a 3-dimensional teaching and learning approach
  • Leverage real phenomena and unsolved questions being explored underground
  • Shift students from “learning about” a topic to “figuring out” for themselves

Keep an eye out for Summer 2024 Professional Development opportunities. For questions, or more information, please contact education@sanfordlab.org
